Description
An
undated
photograph
of the

mansion
located
at
2118
West
End
Avenue
,
Nashville
,
Tennessee
. The
squarish
,
buff-colored
brick
structure
was
originally
a
residence
built
by
C
.
T
.
Cheek
, a
wealthy
wholesale
grocer
,
circa
1910
.
It
was
noted
for its
leaded
glass
doors
and
windows
and its
handsome
Palladian
dormer
window
. The
state
first
rented

purchased
the

Horton
,
Hill
McAlister
,
Gordon

to

.
Jim
Nance
McCord
was the
last
governor
to
live
in the
executive
mansion
. The
old
edifice
soon
became
in
need
of
multiple
repairs
in an
area
that was "
going
commercial.
" The
structure
was
razed
circa
June
1979
to
make
way
for a
fried
chicken
restaurant
(Popeye's
Famous
Fried
Chicken)
